Rich Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 http://deadspin.com/judge-overturns-tom-bradys-suspension-1728456783?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow This is the basic reasons the suspension was overturned. Interesting that the suspension was overturned because of process and not merit. The NFL didn’t properly inform Brady of the punishment he faced, or even what he was accused of. The NFL didn’t let Brady’s camp question NFL executive and counsel Jeff Pash at his appeal. The NFL didn’t give Brady’s side the opportunity to examine the evidence against him.
sweep the leg Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 I'm not a Brady fan by any means but I love seeing Goodell being slapped down. FrostyWinnipeg 1
kelownabomberfan Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 it's simple - the judge has Brady on his Fantasy team. Makes perfect sense!
basslicker Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 Great day for players everywhere. The NFL shouldnt be allowed to unfairly punish selected teams. No other team caught tampering footballs ever got close to these punishments. And there isn't even solid evidence of tampering here.
Rod Black Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 Great day for players everywhere. The NFL shouldnt be allowed to unfairly punish selected teams. No other team caught tampering footballs ever got close to these punishments. And there isn't even solid evidence of tampering here. The judge didn't have to rule on the evidence involving the accusations of misconduct against Brady. Apparently the judge said the charges were unclear. Nobody in an employment relationship is ever allowed allowed to unfairly punish, not just the NFL. What's now going to happen to the two equipment guys that have been out of work since then?
Rod Black Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 So, Hardy, Peterson and Rice are still Guilty. Goodell was correct to Impose discipline. The amount of discipline was altered. It's a win for Goodell

Logan007 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Brady should always be punished. The Patriots are evil cheaters and I hates them...I HATES THEM!!! FrostyWinnipeg and Mark F 2
Mark F Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Brady is the greatest !!! They are going to win it all again this year! and Jake Gaudar shouldn't have suspended Tom! basslicker 1
Rod Black Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 The two dufus' that did the deflating, actually did commit an offence. They have each lost 9 months salary. To them, that's way more than Brady. My guess is, they won't get away with it. Ironic isn't it? NFL says they will appeal. They should appeal. The judge viewed Brady as a defenseless hopelessly oppressed working class stiff. The truth is, Brady is a multi millionaire, with first class representation, that was involved in influencing, a conspiracy maybe, to have undue advantage by not inflating to the NFL specifications on ball pressure. A specification he obviously was very aware of. But judges have very wide decision making powers. Appeals judges only have very limited scope to overturn, a colleague's decision. Robert Kraft's post decision statement is clearly self serving and appears to embolden Tom Brady and reaffirm his self entitlement. But there's nothing illegal about that statement. It's just slimy. Why isn't Kraft making a statement about the two clods that his team suspended?
iso_55 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 How about giving Goodell a lifetime suspension as in being fired. mbrg and Mark F 2
do or die Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 The stupid thing..... was the NFL equating the penalty for slightly deflated footballs in a half, during a game NE won by 35........to proven drug use and assault. Then not even using proper due process to do it. Godell is a moron.
Mark F Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 This is just like the spying on other teams. It turned out after the Patriots got hammered for that, that all of the teams were doing it. Some other NFL coaches admitted it. NFL needs a new commissioner. re deflated footballs, here's one opinion I'd value over any fan or sports commentor…. "Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer doesn't think the deflated footballs had anything to do with determining the winner of the AFC Championship, but he does think something else the Patriots did will resonate this offseason. "I think it was like 41-7, right?" Zimmer said at a Senior Bowl practice, via NFL.com. "I don't think the balls had a lot to do with it."

The NFL's handling of this crap show has been shady from the start. False psi reports, poorly executed psi readings, full blown witch hunt that is now blowing up in their face. I don't expect either the NFL nor ESPN to retract the false reports, unreleased scientific evidence nor undue public shaming.
Rod Black Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Bassl, I'm rather enjoying the discussion. And I can certainly see the NFL bosses giving instructions to "Go get dat guy" and those that executed not doing it right.
Brandon Blue&Gold Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Brady should always be punished. The Patriots are evil cheaters and I hates them...I HATES THEM!!! Good, good. Let the hate flow through you... GO PATS! basslicker 1
